3. the temperature getting down enough at night that i can wear a light sweater. (dear fall, please hurry up and get here if full force! sincerely, ashlee)

4. i made apple pie pops.

5. putting up fall decorations.

6. relief society broadcast. the prophets message was amazing.

7. getting test #1 of the semester done and out of the way.

8. the neighbors made us a pan of cornbread. it's legendary.

9. i'm getting stronger/braver/something . . . on saturday my (ex)sister-in-law brought her fiance over so my mom could take out his stitches. my mom couldn't see them well enough, so i ended up pulling them out after she snipped them. the old me would have practically fainted, but the new me did it no problem.

10. at some point this week i remember stopping and thinking, "life is so amazing!" i can't remember what prompted this thought, but i remember i wanted to remember it so i could write it down on my list . . . oh well. so i'll just have to be grateful for those little moments that make you stop and savor life, even if you can't remember why a few days later. i guess it's the feeling that remains that's important.

"I beg you…to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without ever noticing it, live your way into the answer…" - Rainer Maria Rilke
